    John Avery, The Tims|Mar 25, 2021

    Coming of age in the '90s, I had an unfair bias against the saxophone. The once-hip instrument of jazz and early rock and roll had become associated with cheesy 80's hits like "Careless Whisper," talk-show politicking, and forgettable, soporific elevator music. How wrong I was. Liberally employed by the band Destroyer in their widely acclaimed 2011 masterpiece, Kaputt, the saxophone imbued an album of cryptic synth-rock with cool, jazzy detachment. Destroyer's lyrics have always been poetic,...

  • Out and About: C&M Nursery

    Beka Compton, The Times|Mar 25, 2021

    Planty friends, this one's for you. My birthday was on Friday, and it presented my mom and me with the perfect excuse to pop over to the Tri-Cities and do some plant shopping. We joined the Tri-Cities Houseplant Lover's Facebook page, and members were constantly posting photos of their loot from C&M Nursery in West Richland. This was our first stop of the day, and we ended up falling in love with the little shop located at 2517 W Van Giesen Street. They have a huge outdoor plant spread which...

    Ten Years Ago February 24, 2011 [Headline] From the Drug Front: Meth is Back: With Threat to Tri-County Drug Task Force, Sheriffs Fear Setback In Local War on Drugs It was like a scene from Sherwood Forest. Men, women and children tromped through the woods carrying bows and quivers full of arrows. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, hundreds of modern-day archers, with compound bows priced between $15-$1,200, wearing synthetic, camouflage fleece and hiking boots, swarmed the forest hills at Tucannon Campground for the annual 3-D target shooting...

  • Sticky Banoffee Cake

    Luke Chavez, The Times|Mar 25, 2021

    Being the proper Anglophile that I am, my television viewing leans heavily towards programs from across the pond. A long favorite is The Great British Bake Off, which, with its charming pastoral setting and English pleasantries, feels refreshing compared to more aggressive American competition shows. Each episode provides a crash course in British culinary vocabulary and offers up endless inspiration for experimentation in the kitchen. This recipe, blending two British classics, Sticky Toffee...

  • Book Briefs: Lane's Picks

    Lane Gwinn, The Times|Mar 25, 2021

    Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford Though this best-selling book was published in 2005, I didn't read it until 2009. Before then, my reading material rarely included invading empire-building conquerors. This was before Game of Thrones (GOT), both the books and HBO series, became an addiction in my household. What little I had learned about Genghis Khan was that he was a violent and ruthless invader, on horseback, wearing fabulous fur fashion. I especially loved...
